I don't really know the answer Phil, - I'm making this up, however... from
what I have read of the spoiling mechanism, I would suspect that it would
be
OK. - I believe it is nothing to do with the mechanism per se, - AIUI, they
"spoil" the TOC on the CD (not sure if it's just one or both
copies they
mess with), and alegedly PC's are totally thrown by this (as they are
trying
to access the CD's file system), whereas audio players are able to ignore
it
and play the disk anyway...

that's my limited understanding anyway...
